Pornographic material

I believe the film we watched today is still relevant since there are towns till this day that still outlaws pornography. When I was stationed in Abilene Texas, the community completely outlawed strip clubs, porn stores and even Hooters. The community was funded primarily by the churches and since the major college there was a Christian school they made it clear that there will never be anything offensive and anything promoting sex in that city. There is no longer an issue about appointing a women to the high court since we do have one on the stand today. However, the fact that she is going to have to step down and the person who is going to fill her position so far are only women applicants. I believe that’s wrong not because I don’t believe women could do that job but the position should go to the most qualified. My options on pornographic material is it should still be outlawed for minor’s and have strict laws that prevent minor’s from viewing such material. I do have to agree that it is a form of art and people have the right to express themselves in that manner. With the changes on the internet people are free to view whatever material they so desire. That scares me because one day I’m going to have children and they will be easily exposed to such material. I won’t have to sit him down and talk about birds and bees because his friend already burned a copy of the Pamela tape. That really scares me. I wish they can develop a better system that controls who gets to view such material without compromising people’s own right to privacy.
